Basava : Don’t make me hear all day

For more about this 12th c. CE Shaivite from south India, see this post.

Don’t make me hear all day
     ‘Whose man, whose man, whose man is this?’

Let me hear, ‘This man is mine, mine
     this man is mine.’

O lord of the meeting rivers,
     make me feel I’m a son
     of the house.

Translation A. K. Ramanujan
